Uran, a fishing village in Raigad district of Maharashtra, supports a good fishery of Scylla serrata commonly known as giant mud crab, found in the coastal estuarine and mangrove areas. During a survey conducted in the intertidal zone on 21st August 2017, a live juvenile of S. serrata was observed with a bifurcated claw. The crab was a male with 56 mm carapace width. Its right cheliped showed two claws articulating separately from the carpus and second claw emerged from the posterior side of the carpus. Merus of the right cheliped also showed strong rows of spines on both sides unlike Abnormal mud crab in a normal crab.

  • Wind Turbine Design for a Hybrid System with the Emphasis on Generation Complementarity
    Wind Turbine Design for a Hybrid System with the emphasis on generation complementarity F. A. Qamar Wind Turbine Design for a Hybrid System with the emphasis on generation complementarity by Fadhil Ahmad Qamar to obtain the degree of Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Technology at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on Tuesday August 18, 2020 at 13.00 PM. Student number: 4741986 Project duration: October 17, 2019 – August 18, 2020 Thesis committee: Prof. dr. D. A. von Terzi, TU Delft, chairperson Dr. ir. M. L. Zaayer, TU Delft, First supervisor Dr. ir. J. Quist, TU Delft, Second supervisor An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Summary Reason for this research The global issue on global warming and climate change are one of the motivations that led nations to reform their means of generating power and meeting the electricity demand. Decarbonisation of the power system is imperative to reduce the carbon emission, and the penetration of renewable energy to the power system is expected to rise in the future. However, as the nature of renewable energy source being weather dependent, high penetration of this technology in the power system will pose additional challenges to the utilities and system operators. The hybrid power plants that include multi- ple generation technologies can combine the strengths and weaknesses of different technologies and results in a power system with better performance. For instance, combining wind, solar or other gen- eration technologies can results in a more stable generation with a generation profile similar to the base-load generation technology.

  • Early Irrigation Systems in Kanyakumari District
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 EARLY IRRIGATION SYSTEMS IN KANYAKUMARI DISTRICT Dr.H.Santhosha kumarai Assistant professor Department of History and Research Centre Scott Christian college (Autonomous), Nagercoil ABSTRACT: The study has been under taken to analyse the early irrigation systems in kanyakumari district. Ay kings who ruled between 4th century BC and 9th century A.D showed interests in developing the irrigation systems. The ancient Tamils found a good system of distribution management of Water.The Rivers are the back bones of irrigation in kanyakumari district. During early period tanks were created with a clear idea to meet the needs of the people The earlier irrigation systems were well planned aiming at the welfare and benefit of the people . The irrigation system that was developed during the early period in kanyakumari district is still continuing and helping the people. Key words - irrigation system, rivers, tanks, welfare and benefit. 1. INTRODUCTION Kanyakumari district differs from the rest of Tamil Nadu with regard to its physical features and all other aspects, such as people and culture. The normal rainfall is more than forty inches a year. Kanyakuamri District presents a striking contrast to the neighbouring Tirunelveli and Kerala state in point of physical features and agricultural conditions. The North eastern part of the district is filled with hills and mountains. The Aralvaimozhi hills and the Aralvaimozhi pass are historically important( Gopalakrishnan, 1995,).The fort at the top of the hill was built by the ancient kings to defend the Ay kingdom. Marunthuvalmalai or the medicinal hill is referred in the epic of Ramayana.

  • Wind Power Development in Tamil Nadu
    International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 8 Issue 3, March 2018, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell’s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A WIND POWER DEVELOPMENT IN TAMIL NADU Dr. T. Palaneeswari* Abstract Wind power is one of the oldest-exploited energy sources by humans and today is the most seasoned and efficient energy of all renewable energies. Wind energy does not contaminate, it is inexhaustible and reduces the use of fossil fuels, which are the origin of greenhouse gasses that cause global warming. In addition, wind energy is a native energy, because it is available practically everywhere on the plant, which contributes to reducing energy imports and to creating wealth and local employment. Tamil Nadu is the leading State in India in promoting and harnessing renewable sources of energy particularly wind. Tamil Nadu is endowed with rich wind energy potential in the country. In the Tirunelveli region in Tamil Nadu alone, there are two wind seasons – May to October and November to March, with the wind speeds higher during the first period. In Muppandal in Tamil Nadu, the wind speed exceed 43.2-46.8 km an hour during the peak period. Of the total installed capacity in the country of 26915 MW, the share of Tamil Nadu is 7654.17 MW as on 31st March, 2016.

Worldwide, shark populations have experienced marked declines due to the advent of modern industrial fishing.

  • The Mission of St. Thomas in India
    THE MISSION OF ST. THOMAS IN INDIA Dr. J. ALBARIS Associate Professor of History P.G. & Research Department of History Alagappa Govt. Arts College Karaikudi – 630 003 Tamil Nadu. Mob. No: +91-9443619556 The history of Christianity in India is as old as the history of the universal church. The Syrain Catholics and Syro-Malankara Catholics support this view. Though primary sources are scanty to defend this view, there are very meager secondary sources to support this, which are not absolutely and definitely reliable. Traditions, relics and monuments associated with the Apostle, St. Thomas1 are available. Of course, Christianity traces its origin from St. Thomas one of the twelve disciples of Jesus Christ. As per the western tradition it is believed that St. Thomas following the well established trade routes reached India. But according to Indian tradition, he reached the ancient Port of Muziri in Crangarore and preached the Christian faith.2 This tradition was widely held from early times and it has been accepted as true by many writers of repute. There is in the tradition itself, nothing improbable. At that stage, there was commerce between India and Europe by caravans overlord, by the Persian Gulf and by the Red sea, so that the apostle could journey to India.3 It is said that he worked among the fishermen of the erstwhile Travancore State jurisdiction and converted them to Christianity.4 As a result of his propagation and missionary work, he converted many to Christianity. There were converts from the Brahmias and other high castes. To an extent, he succeeded to secure conversions from among the princely sections of the society.
